Preliminary Descriptive Insights into Student Generated Activities for STEM subjects through Mobile Learning in a Malaysian University Context

Abstract

There is a lack of interest in learning STEM among students in Malaysia. Hence, this research aims to investigate the benefits of student-generated activities through mobile learning in STEM subjects. The methodology used in this research is quantitative with a descriptive survey using students from Sultan Idris Education University, Malaysia. The results of the findings indicate that through student-generated activities, students show an improvement in learning STEM subjects, by means of a high utilization of their mobile devices for learning. This finding may help to implement mobile learning in the classroom in the future further and help students better understand and learn STEM subjects.
